 | Voyager enters the nebula.
Paris: "Maybe Chell should add Nebula Soup to his menu." Captain Janeway: "Shields?" Tuvok: "Holding." |  |
 | Captain Janeway: "Bridge to Astrometrics."
Seven, via comms: "Go ahead." Captain Janeway: "Any more data on those neutrino emissions?" Seven, via comms: "Negative, Captain. I still can't get a clear scan." Captain Janeway: "Distance to the centre?" Seven, via comms: "6 million kilometres." |
 | Captain Janeway: "What is it?"
Tuvok: "I'm detecting a tritanium signature, bearing three-four-two mark five-five." Paris: "Whatever it is, it's too close." Captain Janeway: "Evasive maneuvers." |
 | Chakotay: "Is it a ship?"
Tuvok: "Possibly." |
 | Kim: "Another tritanium signature, right on top of us!" |  |
 |
Captain Janeway: "Tom!" |  |
Captain Janeway to Paris: "Get us out of here NOW." |
 In the nebula, Voyager narrowly avoids collision with a Borg cube. (pop-up window) [#171 and #172 Endgame] |
 | The Borg cube reports: "Vessel identified. USS Voyager. We will pursue and assimilate." |
 | But the Borg Queen, seeing their viewscreen's view on her own screen, "No, they haven't compromised our security. Let the vessel continue, for now. I'll keep an eye on them." |  |
|
Briefing room.
Tuvok: "There's no evidence that the cube detected us." Chakotay: "Where is it now?" Seven: "Approximately three light-years away." Paris: "How can they not have seen us? We came within ten metres of their hull." Tuvok: "The Borg wouldn't knowingly risk a collision. The radiation must have interfered with their sensors as well as ours." Kim: "If they can't detect us, we should go back." Seven: "I wouldn't recommend it. My analysis of the tritanium signatures suggests there were at least 47 Borg vessels inside the nebula." Kim: "We can't just give up on those wormholes!" Captain Janeway: "Oh yes we can." Kim: "What if we tried to modify the-" Captain Janeway: "Sorry, Mr Kim. You may be the captain someday, but not today." |

Kim catches up with Paris in a corridor.
Kim: "Tom, what are you doing when your shift ends?" Paris: "No plans. Why?" Kim: "I've been thinking you and I should have some fun - one last adventure before you get too busy being a father." Paris: "Did you reserve some holodeck time?" Kim: "I got a better idea." He hands Paris a PADD. Paris looks at it: "This is your idea of fun?" Kim: "It'll work! We just need to make a few modifications to the Flyer." Paris: "Might as well just hand it over to the Borg!" Kim: "How could that happen with the best pilot in the Quadrant at the helm?" Paris: "Nice try." Kim: "If we go to the Captain together she'll be much more likely to approve my plan." Paris: "I don't want her to approve it." Kim: "Where's your sense of adventure?" Paris: "I left it in that nebula, and I'm not going back for it." Kim: "Don't you want to find a way home?" Paris reaches a turbolift door. Paris: "I am home, Harry." He presses the signal and the turbolift doors open. 
Paris steps inside. As the doors close Kim presses the signal to open the doors again. Kim: "Captain Proton would never walk away from a mission like this." Paris: "Captain Proton doesn't have a wife, and a baby on the way." Paris closes the turbolift doors. The conversation is over. |
 | Chakotay enters the Astrometrics Lab.
Seven: "If you've come for my daily report, it's not complete." Chakotay: "Actually I'm here in an unofficial capacity. I was wondering if you'd like to get together again." Seven: "To do what?" |
 | Chakotay: "Well, that would depend on your 'research'. Would a quiet dinner be an appropriate fourth date?"
Seven: "I believe it would be a more suitable fifth date." Chakotay: "I'm willing to skip ahead if you are." |
 | Sickbay.
Doctor: "You're fine, aside from some minor inflammation around your bi-radial clamp. Let me know if it starts to bother you. Is there something else?" Seven: "Do you remember three months ago when my cortical node shut down?" Doctor: "How could I forget?" Seven: "You said it might be possible to remove the fail-safe device that was causing the problem." Doctor: "Has it been giving you trouble again?" Seven: "No. But I've reconsidered your offer to extract it." Doctor: "I've been hoping you would." |
 | Seven: "You said it would require several surgeries."
Doctor: "Actually, in anticipation of your change of heart, I've studied the problem in more detail. I now believe I can reconfigure the micro-circuitry with a single procedure. You'll be free to experience the full range of emotions - everything from a hearty belly laugh to a good cry." Seven: "How soon can you do it?" Doctor: "Today if you'd like." Seven: "My shift ends at 1800 hours." Doctor: "It's a date! Speaking of dates, once the fail-safe is gone, you'll be free to pursue more intimate relationships." Seven: "I'm aware of that." |
 | Doctor: "If you decide you need help with that aspect of your humanity, I'm always at your disposal."
Seven: "I appreciate that." Doctor: "Really?" |
 | Seven: "Yes. But I already have all the help I need."
Doctor: "Ah, of course. You'll undoubtedly be running more simulations with the Chakotay hologram." Seven: "No, actually. I'll see you at eighteen hundred hours." |
